Address Real World Community Problems
Public Service Initiative
The CGCS conceptualizes, designs and executes events, programs, and projects designed to serve the community. The Public Service Initiative identifies specific real world problems with the goal of building a diverse coalition of students and community members that come together to create and implement solutions.
Explore our initiatives in greater detail to learn how you can gain experience and expertise while contributing to a tangible impact on our communities. Learn about specific issues, for example climate change or journalism, in order to work in small and large groups to craft a shared understanding and corresponding solutions to pressing issues.
